About Kimberly
Kimberly Marks is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with four years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, grief, and questions about life purpose. Kimberly draws on her background as a longtime high school educator and her graduate training in counseling psychology to inform her work.
She focuses on life transitions and the day-to-day pressures that follow big changes. Sessions look at family of origin patterns, workplace stress, and communication problems. Kimberly also supports people navigating divorce, separation, and the specific grief that follows losing a spouse or close family member.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to reduce symptoms and clarify what matters next. Kimberly blends practical conversation with strategies that help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. She asks concrete questions and helps set small, doable steps between sessions.
Clients often talk about values, faith, and relationships, and Kimberly includes those topics when they matter to the person. She has experience working with parents, young adults, and professionals juggling family and work demands. She frames sessions around clear goals rather than vague promises.
Sessions are conducted in English and Kimberly practices in California. The subscription-based fee varies by location and can be canceled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Kimberly works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete changes and symptom relief. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety and depression. It involves tracking situations, thoughts, and reactions, then testing new responses in everyday life.Another approach she uses involves processing strong emotional memories to reduce their current intensity. This method guides attention while the person reviews distressing memories so those experiences become less disruptive to daily functioning. It can help with post-traumatic stress and persistent grief reactions.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Kimberly discusses your goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommends strategies that fit those needs. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is helpful and what is not.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to keep continuity of care after life changes, but check which specific session types are offered when you schedule.
